April 12th surgery sleeve/hernia repair



Recommended Posts

So I'm day 3 on my 14 day liquid diet my dr ordered. I'm struggling a bit but so far so good. No cheating yet lol Anyone else have a surgery date soon? What did your DR request before surgery? What did he tell you to expect post surgery? My dr is also doing a hiatel (sp) hernia repair..anyone have one with their sleeve surgery?

Still trying to get the dr to commit to sleeve. I just had an UGI last week to see if I had a hernia which might get him to say yes to the sleeve. ( acid reflux) if he determines that is the cause of my reflux then he will do the sleeve. I do not want the bypass. I restarted this process after starting it 4 years ago. I asked for a second opinion to see if I could get this dr to okay the sleeve. If so , my surgery could be in May. (6 weeks out) Keeping fingers crossed and wishing you well with yours.

Good luck! I started the process in Aug 2015. I had to attend a 3 hour seminar and then my insurance required 7 months of medical weight loss through my surgeon. Feels like I've been waiting forever.

Yes i have a hiatus hernia caused by my band. My what a terrible device the band is. Seems almost everyone ends up with a hernia!

I have surgery date 19th April so start my pre-op phase soon.

Not looking forward to it. Done it before...its tough.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
